A minutes' chat at the front entrance before class. The HMASTER KEY To Better Living Soon St. Agnes High School will no longer be housed in the old red brick building on East Main Street. Now we are assured of a new building on a su- burban site. When the architectis plans are realized-and we are told that the immediate future will bring them to com- pletion-we shall have our classes in the most modern of newly-built and newly- equipped schools. And yet, despite the advantages of such ultra-modernity, we know that no build- ing, however efficient or complete can re- place the old place in our affections. Shining morning faces here but no unwilling snails on their way into school - 1 L.

Bishop 0 Rochester THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM . . . are in his hands, and because Bishop Kearney ordains priests to minister to our spiritual needs, admits sisters to vows and assigns these religious persons to the work of teach- ing us, our education is provided. His highly successful Jubilee Campaign will ben- efit St. Agnes to the extent of making a new, modern, and much larger St. Agnes High School possible and of equipping many more girls with the keys to full Christian living. 6 For the first time in the history of our diocese, an auxiliary Bishop has been appointed to assist in the many episcopal functions that devolve upon the Bishop of an actively Catholic popu- lation. The honor, coming as it does, to a native of the di- ocese, brings him a share in the power to administer the Sacraments of Confir- mation and Holy Orders and to make decisions for the spiritual advancement of all of us. We wish Bishop Casey God's blessing and many years in His service. 3 . api ,Ks MOST REVEREND LAWRENCE B. CASEY, D.D. Titular Bishop of Cea and Auxiliary to His Ex- cellency Bishop .lames E.

It is true that character training is an important part of education, as is the development of sound social at- titudes and emotional balance. But in school these desirable end results ac- company the teaching of required subject matter. Often it is the very chal- lenge of a difficult passage to translate from another language, or a stubborn problem to solve in math that stimulates the will to act. An so it is the hands of our teachers who open to us the great treasures .... 15 MEMS JUNIOR RELIGION CLASSES . . . of RELIGION the laeu to all subjects. lieligion . . . the study ol Catholic Doc- trine . . . is the key to the entire cur- riculum of the Catholic school. Every study is pursued in the light of Christ's teaching. Literature. science and the arts are illumined and clarified by His immutable principles. And to make this Christian integra- tion possible. particular courses in re- ligion are taught during the four-year course. The Senior course in Apolo- getics. which gives the reasonable basis for Codls existence. comes only after the student has benefited from Church History in third year. Roth ol these courses are built on the solic' study of the Sacramental system and .he life of Christ. .lane Kelly demonstrates one ol the proofs of the existence of Cod using a clock as lfrorn Leftl Rm-ia Nlcblalion.

Feast days and fast days have special significance when they are observed as part of your everyday school life. And when shrines and statues and lovely pic- tured reminders are all about you it is not hard to remember to pray and increase your devotions in honor of Our Lady and the Saints. Every day finds girls in the Chapel or, in fine weather, at the shrine in the backyard. Religion becomes more than just a course of study, it is a way of life. Knowing how to say the Dolor Ros- ary helps in devotion to our Lady of Sorrows, .ludy Ryan, Mary Ellen Sweeney, Jane Hamaleinen and Ann St. Maurice make sure of the dolors on their rosary.

The newspaper yields music news of inter- est to Shakespeare students: Rosanne Mattern, Connie Kondolf, Betty Schwind and Shirley Preiss. 18 the magic world of penned beauty il' opens to us . . . The whole teaching of English is based upon the desire and the need to master the skills needed in the art of communi- cation. There is a keen realization that the treasures of the world's finest thought have been caught in literaturehand only to those who know how to find these written gems and to interpret them once they have been found can the thoughts be revealed. To that end such practical devices as the Dewey Decimal System, the card catalog and other works of reference are taught. Questions on the technique of the short story provoke thought First Row.

The science of living together and working out together the problems of government, of supplying one another's needs and of developing a strong na- tion from closely-knit family groups forms the basic study materials of the courses taught in the social studies group. This trend towards producing social- minded citizens is reflected in the new name for the first-year course, Citizen- ship Education. Later courses in this group emphasize historical knowledges. perhaps in order that we may learn from the mistakes of the past what to avoid or to assert in the present and the future. In any case, whether they are learn- ing of the prudent patriots who framed Sister Agnes Catherine and students of American History, Joan Pereira, Joan Cariola.

New this year to the curriculum of St. Agnes is the course in Christian Family Living. Taught only to Seniors, it provides an opportunity to aquire at least a begin- ning of the skills that make for happy and profitable family living. It has been a new thing for students to have a row of hemstitching or a motif in crocheting for homework, or to be required to make a batch of Christmas cookies or cream puffs at home in order to gain credit on their report cards. Yet reports from other members of the family show that these beginnings have contributed to the fine art of getting along together. In Family Living Class, Seniors Margaret Ritz, Joyce Lappetito, Sharon Schoener, and Marilyn Judson learn to sew a fine seam. 21 Gay Catherinettes model the catch husbands.

Latin, the universal lang- uage of the Church conveys the culture of antiquity. The legen- dary story of the Argonauts, Cae- saris COMMENTARIES ON THE GALLIC WAR, Cicerois orations and letters are found to have un- expected meanings for moderns. The labor of translation is often rewarded by the aptness of the thought for life as it is lived today. The study of French brings us to a knowledge and understand- ing of European customs that amuse and delight us.

Students who do not choose to study a foreign language may elect business sub- jects. At present that choice is somewhat limited both by lack of space and equipment, but courses in General Business and Business Arithmetic are offered. Practice in using sim- ple office equipment such as files and adding machines is provided as is experience in hand- ling the sale of merchandise, arranging attrac- tive displays and keeping sales records. Sister Michael Marya gives some advice about saleability of merchandise as Marilyn Adams, Janet Agostinelli and Patricia Wein- hart unpack the religious articles for the sale they conducted as part of their work in Bus- iness Arithmetic class.

Not much progress can be made without the ability to use the generalizations and symbolism of al- gebra and to express simple relations in the form of equations.

Exercises in interpretation of poetry and dra- matic selections add the necessary polish to good speaking.

This proved a rel- atively painless way to focus attention on the Mis- sions and to raise money for their needs. The girls and their escorts who descended into Corpus Christi Hall found it transformed with orange and yellow festoons, and balloons. Chrysanthemums and corn- stalks gave an atmosphere of Fall and harvest. Everyone who danced seemed willing to pay the fiddler for the Missions. Intermission time offers a chance to rc new acquaintances and perhaps talk over a coming football game. At least that looks like what Marilyn Judson a d B ' and h ' ' n etty Schwind t eir escorts might be doing.

Rustly silks and Christmas jewelry gave the holi- day glitter and handsome es- corts and pleasant music pro- vided satisfying pleasure. .

This year the Seniors turned from the classics to present as their dramatic highlight of the year a gay modern comedy, YOUNG APRIL. To say that is was gay and modern is not to say that it is necessarily light and frivolous and without value. In fact, its values were positive and worthwhile. It brought home to the audience in a humorous manner that parents' problems need as much sympathy as do their teen-age sons, and daughters'. It pointed out, too, that young people can often be trusted to make decisions as wise and sensible as those their elders might make for them. The story of the play revolved around the Mc- Intyre family whose peaceful life became compli- cated when their son, George, came home from col- lege to announce that he had fallen in love with the Hprettiest girl on the campus and intended to give up engineering so he could get a job and ask her to marry him. Their daughter, Terry, then tried to elope with a pathetic lVIama's Boy . The play's interest lies in restoring balance and a true set of values to these young people. You've got a lot to learn says Terry's sophisticated boy friend, Bert Parsons fCliff Monteaul as Terry warns him that He's not going to get a chance to write about her in his little book.

The proba tionary period is rigidly observed and only candi- dates who fulfill the Daily Six faithfully are re- ceived as members. Tuesday meetings are in two sections-one for probationers. the other for members. Skits, dis- cussions, plans for active projects occupy the par- ticipants as do explanations of the Sodality rules. The earnest desire to live more holily and to help their neighbor do the same, motivates these spiritually elite of our school.

Mission activity is carried on in the St. Agnes' unit of the CSMC through homeroom projects in- augurated or encouraged by each room's own mis- sion leader whose attendance at centralized meet- ings insures unity of spirit and cooperation through- out the school.

How proud each girl is to have such a lovely Graduation ceremony to end her happy days at Saint Agnes'. The ceremony is impressive to the graduate as well as to the observers. The majestic strains of the organ ring out clearly in the auditorium. Dressed in snowy white formals and carrying their symbolic red roses, the graduates file slowly towards the stage. While ascending the platform perhaps each girl is remembering how quickly her high school days have bubbled away. Time flows quick- ly by. The awarding of the diplomas, the giving of special honors, and the wise words of Bishop Kearney end all too swiftly. Graduation, the final act of their high school days, marks their entry to womanis world. When Graduation is just a memory all that it symbolizes will .remain with the Saint Agnes girls. They will realize that they have been deftly pre- pared for the homes and careers that they will en- ter. They know that their precious education has given them the key to future Christian living.
